The Chicago Bulls have offered their head coaching job to Phoenix Suns assistant general manager Vinny Del Negro, who is ready to accept, according to a report on the Chicago Tribune's Web site Monday.
The Bulls and Del Negro, who has no previous coaching experience, must still finalize a deal, but a news conference officially announcing the hire is expected this week, the Tribune reported.
Del Negro first interviewed with the Bulls on Thursday and moved ahead of Sacramento Kings assistant Chuck Person and former Minnesota Timberwolves coach Dwane Casey, who both had second interviews last week with Bulls management, including chairman Jerry Reinsdorf.
Doug Collins, who coached Chicago from 1986-89, had been expected to return to the Bulls' sideline but told the team to look elsewhere last week.
